How to install google market?Support

A colleague recently purchased an Acer android phone and there is no Google Market (there is something called Slide Sam 4.0 that has different stuff).
Is there a way of adding google market or do we need to root and flash this thing first?

Thanks, I downloaded the Froyo package but the Acer Setup Tool will notinstall this over EMEA_GEN4. So what would be the way to install it manually and is it safe or should I go for the rooting solution?

Oh damn, it didn't work. Does not make sense why Acer would release an update for most but not all phones. Silly Acer.

As far as installing it manually being safe, I feel so. I have flashed many bins (from Donut to several leaks of Eclair, to several unofficial/official Froyo bins) with no problems (as have many other people). There have a been some (not many) people who have had problems but it is a very small percentage.

I would recommend doing it on a full battery (at least 75%) and on a reliable computer (one that can't randomly shut off).

Once you start flashing, do not touch the phone until the process is finished and you should be fine. There will be points during the flash when it says "Not Connected" but this should only last for less than a minute.
